NHL News: Lou Lamoriello has dropped the New York Islanders
Lauren Gardiner: “A little news earlier this, when the New York Icelanders had just sent this tweet that the Isles organization announced today that the operational partner of Lou Lamoriello will lead the president and managing director. We are now receiving in our resident resident, Eliot Friedman.
ElliLotte Friedman: “Well, I think that one of the first things I wanted to check Lauren was both the tweet that you had just read, I was wondering if it means that the Icelanders did not go hire a president of hockey operations, and they were simply looking for a general manager, and that is one of the things I followed. And I am saying that the islanders were willing to consider different options.
The best possible leaders they can find, so I think they will perhaps consider the possibility of someone who is managing director. But if they also decide to go look, as Ken HollandThe name is a lot there. I don’t think Ken Holland approaches 70 years. He is no longer Daily Managing Director, but I think he could be president of hockey operations with another managing director below him.
So I think that is the first thing they will determine is that they want to go with the two-headed structure, or do they just want to go with a managing director who will be in charge of building their hockey operations?
So I think this is the first thing that Icelanders will have to understand. »»
The Icelanders GM Lou Lamoriello should have done more on the deadline
Mike Rupp: “Eliot, what do you think it means for head coach Patrick Roy?”
Friedman: “Well, once again, I followed this one too today, Michael, because I knew that you did not go and let me go without asking this question. So what I have been told is at the moment that Patrick Roy and the rest of the hockey operations staff are “under the evaluation”, they are considered to be and continue to do the evaluation.
They are therefore in a little limbo, but the one who is hired will ultimately make this decision. I would say this. I think there was, I don't even know if friction is the right word, Michael, but I think there was an internal debate to find out if Lamoriello and Roy agreed or not of how the team played.
Roy was comfortable playing high luck and tempo games. You played for Lamoriello. It was a more local and buttoned style. I think there was a little disagreement about it. We will therefore see what the next person in charge feels. »»
